Identification of the ancestral killer immunoglobulin-like receptor gene in primates
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) are essential immuno-surveillance molecules. They are expressed on natural killer and T cells, and interact with human leukocyte antigens. KIR genes are highly polymorphic and contribute vit...
